    Hi guys, I need your help.
    Hy guys. I need your help!

    I painted my PCV house door but used the wrong paint (Ronseal garden paint for wood).
    The result is horrible, obviously.
    Now I have been trying to take the paint off
    - scratching it
    - using soapy water
    - using white spirit.
    The only one that works is scratching but I cannot scratch the curved parts without damaging them.
    Any suggestions?
    I'd like to save the door instead of replacing it.

    Thank you!

    What about just painting over it with a suitable paint?

    There are companies that specialise in painting pvc
